buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Start by preparing chicken thighs for the sandwich.

2

Use a meat hammer to flatten the chicken thighs into sandwich-sized fillets.

3

If you don't have a Ziploc bag, flatten the chicken directly on a cutting board.

4

Make a buttermilk substitute by mixing 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

5

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika to the buttermilk mixture.

6

Brine the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for at least 1 hour, or overnight if desired.

7

Separate egg whites from egg yolks for the bun preparation.

8

Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, which takes about 3 minutes.

9

In a separate bowl, soften 2 ounces of cream cheese in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

10

Mix the softened cream cheese with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of beef gelatin powder.

11

Add the egg yolks to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
